Problem:
ADK seems to not pass output/input transcription finished flag from the Gemini.

Solution:
Relaxation of checking conditions of valid llm_response for input/output transcription.

Testing Plan

Unit test test_receive_transcript_finished checks if input/output transcription message with no text but finished flag is received.

Unit Tests:

  • I have added or updated unit tests for my change.
  • All unit tests pass locally.

Manual End-to-End (E2E) Tests:

Configure Gemini Agent to produce input & output transcriptions. Observe incoming transcript messages - to see if the finished flag appears at the end agents & users statement.

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md document.
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code.
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas.
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes.
  • I have manually tested my changes end-to-end.
  • Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules.

Additional context

The mentioned finished flag can be obtained in native Gemini APIs like via Websocket but not via ADK.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ChrisQlasty, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an issue where the ADK (Agent Development Kit) was failing to properly propagate the finished flag for input and output transcriptions originating from the Gemini API, particularly when these transcriptions lacked accompanying text. The core change involves relaxing the conditions for yielding LlmResponse objects, allowing them to be generated solely based on the presence of the transcription object, even if its text field is empty. This ensures that the system accurately captures and communicates the completion status of transcription segments. The functionality is validated by a newly introduced unit test.

Highlights

  • Relaxed Transcription Validation: The system now correctly processes input and output transcriptions from the Gemini API even when they contain only a 'finished' flag and no text, ensuring that completion signals are not missed.
  • New Unit Test Coverage: A dedicated unit test, test_receive_transcript_finished, has been added to verify the correct handling of the 'finished' flag for both input and output transcriptions, confirming the fix's effectiveness.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses the issue of the finished flag not being passed for input/output transcriptions by relaxing the validation conditions in GeminiLlmConnection.receive. The change is simple and effective. The accompanying unit test, test_receive_transcript_finished, properly verifies this new behavior for both input and output transcriptions. I've added a couple of suggestions to the new test code to improve its conciseness and maintainability by reducing code duplication. Overall, this is a good fix.

For improved readability and conciseness, you can create the mock message object directly by setting attributes on a mock.Mock() instance, instead of defining a local Msg class. This makes the test setup more straightforward and less verbose.

  msg = mock.Mock()
  msg.tool_call = None
  msg.session_resumption_update = None
  msg.server_content.model_turn = None
  msg.server_content.interrupted = False
  msg.server_content.turn_complete = False
  msg.server_content.input_transcription = (
      finished_tx if tx_direction == 'input' else None
  )
  msg.server_content.output_transcription = (
      finished_tx if tx_direction == 'output' else None
  )

  async def gen():
    yield msg

The assertion logic is duplicated for the 'input' and 'output' cases. You can refactor this to be more DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) by using a variable for the attribute name and consolidating the checks. This makes the test easier to read and maintain. This change also corrects a typo in the assertion message ('Excpected' -> 'Expected').

  attr_name = f'{tx_direction}_transcription'
  tx_resps = [r for r in responses if getattr(r, attr_name)]
  assert tx_resps, f'Expected {tx_direction} transcription response'

  transcription = getattr(tx_resps[0], attr_name)
  assert transcription.finished is True
  assert not transcription.text
